FatFreddy:
Wwll i've found out why the bike was running so rich and rough.

have a look at the picture below and see if you can spot the problem!

 

Yes i did fix it, and the bike is now running like a dream. Or rather it will just as soon as i get the old front wheel bearings out and replace them with some shiny new ones. Got a problem with the removal of the retainer ring.

:) I bought a set of K4 USA Spec carbs off eBay USA as my F1 ones were full of crud & crap & glued up with old petrol plus the carb rubbers were very bad  \"mice had eaten holes in them\". I was shocked by the price off new carb rubbers

Spitfire:
Well spotted that man, if you are having problems in the wet try sealing the HT leads where they go in the coil, I used Araldite in the old days but nowadays some doorframe sealant would do a better job.
If it works I've posted a photo of the wheel bearing retainer removal type tools I use, very low tech.
